I have shown the tube 11 as adapted to deliver the air below the surface of the gasolene and thereby impregnate it as it bubbles up to the surface, but other means for agi tating the gasolene and impregnating the air so as to form a gas within said tank may be employed. Likewise, I have shown the preferred location .of the pipe within the exhaust manifold for the purpose of superheating the gas within said pipe, though other meansfor superheating the said gas may be employed. I have located the their terminals pass into the lobes of the intake manifold between the cylinders l and,2, 8 and 4 respectively, as such location has given me good results in practice. I do not confine myself however to the exact location shown.

As before stated the speed of the ma' chine is varied by regulating the quantity of superheated gas, passing through the pipes that I carried above and through the exhaust manifold. The regulating valve 16 is preferably operated by a link 22 connecting the lever of said valve to the crank 23 on a rod 24:, mounted in bearings 26 on the steering rod 27 preferably, so that the operating arm 28 of said rod may be accessible to the operator at the steering wheel 29.

I have found by practical operation, that it is easy to regulate the amount of super heated gas, so that the resulting mixture does not contain much, if any, excess of carbon; and that the combusti n of this co1nparatively dry superheated gas in the combustion chamber of my machine not only a. gives a hlgh explosive force with little consumption of gasolene, but little if any carbon is deposited within the cylinder.

When a higher speed is desired than the tank gas alone will develop, a regulated 5 5 quantity of the carburetor charge is admitted to the intake manifold, is there broken up and intermixes with the stream of superheated tank gas, then is drawn into the cylinders. comparatively dry and poortank gas in its superheated condition, enables it to combine readily with "and raise the explosive, power of the richer, colder and damper car bureter charge. starts readily on the tank the engine is cold or hot.

entering the respective lobes of the intake 5 manifold, and then presenting the discharge ends of said branches directly opposite to the carburetor charge through said lobes, a valve for said pipe, and operative connections for regulating the proportion of tank gas to the carbureter charge, substantially as described. v
